The soft drinks giant has announced four pledges which it will apply to the UK and more than 200 other countries where it operates
-
To offer low or no-calorie beverage options in every market.
-
To provide transparent nutrition information, featuring calories on the front of all of our packages.
-
To help get people moving by supporting physical activity programs in every country where Coca-Cola does business.
-
To market responsibly, including no advertising to children under-12 anywhere in the world.
Coke chief executive Muhtar Kent made the announcement as part of a move to combat criticism that the company is contributing to a perceived obesity epidemic across Western countries.
However, , the pledge not to advertise to under-12s relates to an existing US policy, where Coke will only advertise to audiences where "no more than 35% of viewers are children".
